Breaking out with nothing more than meager minds & meandering souls Still not even a glimpse of that elusive blue sky for which other neighbors are willing to die How bad the history to toss it in the wind & follow the passing wind for a new life taking on unknown roles Leaving mongrels for fabulous futures overly protective she nurtures ,what will her resolve signify ? Pressing passions peeking out ,climbing onto a new board will the beauty be worth the unpaid tolls? Integral,meshed strength from mind,body & soul are the naysayers merely jealous of this because they have a short supply? How can people have no country when they are standing on firm ground then who becomes the master to confirm or deny Mass exodus from natures over abundance or her maximum denial ,in the distance are new goals People proud of their past yet forgetting from where they came who are they to say I am just some guy? Living with a new label "stranger in a strange land" now with life's biggest gamble whether coming east,west,north or south all simply seeking new homes.R.C.

NUTURING A FUTURE
Breaking out with nothing more than meager minds & meandering souls Still not even a glimpse of that elusive blue sky for which other neighbors are willing to die How bad the history to toss it in the wind & follow the passing wind for a new life taking on unknown roles Leaving mongrels for fabulous futures overly protective she nurtures ,what will her resolve signify ? Pressing passions peeking out ,climbing onto a new board will the beauty be worth the unpaid tolls? Integral,meshed strength from mind,body & soul are the naysayers merely jealous of this because they have a short supply? How can people have no country when they are standing on firm ground then who becomes the master to confirm or deny Mass exodus from natures over abundance or her maximum denial ,in the distance are new goals People proud of their past yet forgetting from where they came who are they to say I am just some guy? Living with a new label "stranger in a strange land" now with life's biggest gamble whether coming east,west,north or south all simply seeking new homes.R.C.
Could have tried harder,but simple thoughts after helping some folks ,literally arriving to the middle of the U.S. from parts unknown Africa with the shirt on their back,but with more strength than to many others I have met in recent times,imagine learning to wear a coat for the first time at 40 yrs. old? :) But it also still begs the question,are they gaining something or losing something as they become "Americanized" ? I appreciate any in put "Peace Takes Practice" Rick
